    Hi All,

    I read online that someone said that the Aspire One's BIOS password is probably stored in an EEPROM -- whatever that is -- and not in the CMOS itself. Can anyone confirm or refute this for sure? And so will shorting/ clearing the CMOS eliminate the BIOS password, and if not, is there a way to short / clear the EEPROM ? (that is, other than sending the netbook back to Acer and paying them to do it)

    Thanks!
